Meal in a mug by Kevin Keefe

On Friday's we like to make a meal-in-a-mug. This week Kevin Keefe, the executive director of the Red Cross in Queensland came in to make Heather Stott his Bundaberg Mud Cake.

The official Red Cross Big Cake Bake day is Monday 26th August but to make sure nobody misses out, events can be held anytime throughout August.

Here is Kevin's recipe

4 Tbsp flour

4 Tbsp Qld sugar

2 Tbsp cocoa

1 chook egg

3 Tbsp milk

3 Tbsp oil

3 Tbsp choc chips

Splash of vanilla extract

Healthy dash of rum

1. Mix up all the dry stuff in a very big mug with enthusiasm. Slide in the chook egg and mix it up again. Pour in the milk and mix hard. Chuck in the choc chips and a slug of vanilla extract. Throw in a dash of Rum and have one yourself. Mix again with intoxicated enthusiasm.

2. Put the mug in the microwave (a saucer under it might be smart). Whack the microwave up to 1000 watts (high). Watch as the cake rises over the mug a bit, but don't sweat. If alarmed, have another shot of rum.

3. Let it cool a bit, tip onto a plate and eat. Would serve two close friends with a bit of cream (think of polar bears).
